Default 3.0 Coolant Leak front of engine

I need help finding out what is the cause of my leak, I see water dripping on front of the engine near the motor mount, could it be from the water pump? can someone shed some light.

Thanks.

My 2002 3.0 had a coolant leak for over a year and my mechanic could not figure out where it came from. I replaced the radiator, the coolant cap, the coolant tank, and finally I found out that there was a hose behind the engine that needed to be replaced. I would see if all your hoses that are in hard to reach places are working properly.

It turns out it's the water pump, but thanks for responding.
